Why the hate on the auto transmissions?
They turn reasonable trucks into dogs. They don't seem to last all that long in stock form before puking and don't seem to be all that efficient in spite of the OD gearing. I wouldn't buy another automatic dodge truck.
Last year i read that the new 8 Speed Chrysler Torqflite
Was 98% efficient in EVERY GEAR.
I found that hard to believe,
But it made me wonder how efficient
a 1993-1995
A 518/46RH
automatic trans is in each gear?
Locked up one to one ratio 3rd should be highest,
And 0.69 ratio OD 4th gear should a a couple percent less.
Anyone know of a high end transmission shop that can run just the trans on a special dyno that records efficiency in each gear?
